Good Riddance Day
This event has already occurred
Description
December 28, 2020 marks the event’s 14th annual edition—a normally joyous affair, dedicated to saying goodbye to painful memories and hardships of the past year. The holiday is inspired by the Latin American New Year’s Eve tradition of stuffing dolls with objects that represent bad memories before lighting them on fire.
For this year’s event, you can submit your Good Riddance Day memories via TSQ.org/GoodRiddanceDay or on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #GoodRiddanceDay. Submissions will be printed and shredded during the celebration in Times Square, which you can livestream from home. A select number of submissions will be read live during the event by the host, actor Jonathan Bennett.
Tune into the celebration on the Times Square Alliance Facebook page at 12 pm on December 28.
